I have a problem installing any Ubuntu distribution (12.04, 12.10, 13.04) on my Asus Zenbook UX31A-C4046H. When I tried with the live USB boot, selecting install led to a blank screen. I have Intel HD Graphics 4000. Is this a problem with the graphics card? What could I do?

I found the below website, tried to edit grub - replace splash by nomodeset then push F10, still no result.

Dissable FastBoot. To do this, you need to restart windows 8. You cannot turn it off/on manually, since the new "turn off" is actually hibernate. Make sure that you connect the live usb before restarting it.
